  Kevin McMahon, of Merseyside Against Injustice, joined the Merseyside Police in 1979 and subsequently worked as a detective, working on drugs, vice and murder, and as a Special Branch officer.He had formally been a special investigator in the Royal Military Police.He described how, as a serving police officer, there was no protection when he refused to carry out tasks he was ordered to do by a senior officer, including perverting ID parades, concocting evidence and falsifying statements.After reporting the corrupt officer to higher authorities including the Chief Constable and the Police Authority, every excuse was employed not to investigate his serious allegations, and, McMahon says, there began years of harassment and bullying that continued - and still continues - after he left the police.
  
  Currently no protection for police officers who report misconduct But there was no right of redress and compensation for a victimised police officer.The Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 offers some protection to employees who 'blow the whistle' on wrongdoing at their place of work, but police officers, 'the very people who know where the bodies are buried' are currently excluded from such protection. (this is to change - see below) His subsequent involvement with assisting on many miscarriage of justice cases led McMahon to form Merseyside Against Injustice, and he also acts as spokesman for United Against Injustice, whose members include, Kent Against Injustice [Founded by Barbara Stone, another speaker at the meeting] and Innocent [www.innocent.org.uk] Such organisations, said McMahon, were often vilified by the authorities, and their members subjected to harassment, including telephone interference, email interception, surveillance and even wrongful arrest and malicious prosecution, all of which, McMahon said, he has experienced.In addition, he said, the police refused to respond or investigate when he and his family were subjected to serious harassment - including theft, criminal damage and threats of violence - by a stalker.Authorities must be held accountable 'The key to improving our justice system is accountability' said McMahon.
  
  'As long as the police and the Crown Prosecution Service are secure in the knowledge that they are unlikely to be held accountable for malpractice it will continue.' In conclusion, McMahon said, 'victimisation and harassment against the miscarriage of justice fraternity is a serious matter and must be taken seriously.

  Kevin McMahon, of the Merseyside Against Injustice Group, insists that Cole's imprisonment is a gross miscarriage of justice.He said: "Sam is very upset that he was not allowed to go to the funeral."He is a Category B prisoner so, on the face of it, there was no reason why he should not be allowed to go."The church was absolutely packed.Sue was a woman who had great spirit and drive, a big personality and a great sense of humour. "But her greatest wish was unfulfilled - that she should see her son walk free."Sue always protested her son's innocence.Following the revelations by Mellor, Kirk and Mr Handyside, she said: "I'm over the moon because it's taken six years to get to this.I think he's got a real chance this time and we are very optimistic that it will get to appeal."When her son's third application to appeal was rejected shortly after her breast cancer diagnosis, she said: "I feel like screaming."
